>roti
What were you planning to eat it with? Surely you weren't going to eat plain unleavened flatbread on its own.

>atta flour

is like saying "flour flour". "atta" literally means flour. when will people stop being a muppet!

"atta" may mean "wheat flour" but it is seldom used in that sense. everywhere in india, flour, be it from any grain is called atta. "chaawal ka atta", "gehu ka atta", "bajre ka atta", "makke ka atta"

rotis are fucking disgusting

You don't need a recipe or specific kind of wheat flour to make roti. It's the most basic wheat bread on the planet. Just wheat, water, and salt. Kneaded, rolled out, and cooked on a hot surface.
